HTC Desire question

Hi people, is there a way to remove the stock app from HTC Corporation ???? i mean there are alot of useless programs i don't use and want them to remove.....but when i go to settings -> applications -> all applications tab i cant remove them.....why not

You can remove them using adb or if you have "s-off" you can just delete the .apk's

Ok thanks for the info....but what is adb ?
Edit: Found it i think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

Another question (sorry). If i use a custom rom (need to root first and do s-off) and don't want to use it anymore....can i flash back to stock rom ? also if i do that i lose my root and s-off right ? so i need to re-do that.
Also i am from Europe (as you see in my profile) what version from this topic do i need ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
My device is NOT branded and simlock free. So i am guessing i need the WWE ?
PS: If i root with unrevoked, do i get backup tool ?

You don't need s-off to remove htc apps, just root. Only if you want to remove from a running system.
If you revert to stock you lose root, s-off and you get htc apps back.
You can use any gsm rom, only orange uk users need to be wary about the radio they flash i think (correct me if i'm wrong).
You cannot backup until after root, but then any recovery offers nandroid backup, and titanium backup offers apps and settings backup on any rooted rom.

Those backups nandroid/titanium .... i need to pay/download them manually or are they included after rooting with unrevoked3 ? i have readed somewhere unrevoked added a recovery too.
Also after root i don't get future updates from HTC right ??? People said if they use S-Off and get a update from HTC they might change the HBoot and lose S-Off again......i wonder how that is possible if they can't get updates after root.
Sorry for all those questions, this is my first Android/Linux device and i am new with this.

No problems in asking questions this is the reason that XDA exsist
Nandroid backup: download Rom manager from market (free) and install clockworkmod recovery from within the app, reboot into recovery and do a FREE nandroid backup.
*edit you could also skip the Rom manager and just use the unrevoked recovery, it's up to you
Titanium: free version has restrictions, not sure what because I don't use it.
BTW you will basically update from XDA after using a custom Rom, the developers usually update their custom roms after an official update.
hope this helps

If u have made a nandroid backup u can do a nandroid restore to return back to stock.
And if u havent done, then u can flash rooted official roms (=safe zip files. NOT RUUs).
U can find them here under section 5:

Reboot to custom recovery and explore it. U will see the option to nandroid backup.
Edit: Nandroid backup done from a stock rom only returns to stock rom. I hope u know that.
Nandroid backup done from a particular rom can restore to that particular rom only.

Like i said If u have made nandroid backup when u r on stock rom, then that nandroid restore will get back u to that stock rom. And yes along with all the apps previously installed. U can also back up those 3rd party apps only.
And remember before nandroid restore, factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache needed. All can be done from the recovery itself.

If you run into problems (There are some version of 1.01.0002 that doesn't work), you will have to downgrade to 1.01.0001. Guide here:

I was astounded that it (AlphaRevX) worked. I was literally only two days away from paying out a big sum of cash for the use of an XTC Clip from some guy in the city centre. I was so happy, and with the help of the lovely people here on XDA Developers and the AlphaRev IRC I was able to make it happen.
Apparently I was one of the first thirty people in the public beta. I was very happy indeed. Personally, I recommend AlphaRevX for all users. It's very fast indeed, and powerful, and I'm loving the freedom.

[Q] Flashed GB official ruu. Can not root. Help...

Hi Fellow xda.
I have flashed the official Gingerbread ota update ruu to my desire.
After that i realized that i couldnt root or go back to Oxygen rom, now that the hboot version is 1.02
Before i had hboot version 0.93 i think.
I have tried the downgrade to 2.1
and root again with unrevoked.
None of these 2 methods work.
Is there any other way to go back to rooted and custom recovery to oxygen rom or hboot 0.93?.
With oxygen and launcherpro my desire feels faster than stock sense
Anyone else have this problem?

There is currently no method of downgrading the hboot or rooting the official GB RUU.
I guess all you can do is wait until somebody figures a way to root and install custom recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Ops good job I never installed this. I read others having this problem also.

Same situation, precipitaded mself, now can't root and all my backups are Titanium backups, have nandroid backups but can't use them....
damn...
isn't it possible to downgrade hboot?

I am also facing this problem. Is there any solution available now?

No solution - check Alpharev/Unrevoked updates - if there will be a solution, it will probably be in the developement section.

Someone said that they used a Froyo RUU to downgrade then they just rooted. But it didn't work for other people but I think its with a shot. Otherwise you'll have to wait.
Swyped...

Hmmmm...I did not know about this...
I did not flash the RUU directly but tried to flash the rooted or modified ones from this forum...and decided to keep InsertCoin 1.0.9
How did the devs root it then? Perhaps, try asking Baadnewz and/or NeoPhyTe for help, since they have released the rooted official update.

I don't think they rooted it as such, but more of "ported" it. I don't know a thing about rom development but go and ask him.

The difference is that when u run the ruu, it will overwrite ur hboot, ur recovery, ur rom, ecc, everything...So u lost root, because the ruu restore everything as stock.
In particular after run the ruu, the new hboot installed doesn't allow to root again and doesn't allow to change hboot at the moment.
Instead, when u flash the rooted rom based on official gb (u already have root and u don't lost it, simply), the zip contain only the rom part and with inside the super user apk (that allow root permission), so flashing it u will continue to have ur recovery, ur hboot, ur root permissions.
Instead when running the ruu, so u lost root, there is no way to install again a custom recovery and there is no way to push the super user apk into the rom (unrevoked / alpharev doesn't work)..At the moment.
From devs side, create a rooted rom is easy, as they extract from the ruu only the rom and make it rooted pushing in the zip that they are going to create the super user apk and some other tweaks to the kernel as well...All this can be done with the dsixda kitchen
I hope everything is clear now

That you did. There are plenty of threads with that information available.

is there a way to root now?
we should wait?

Okay well then i guess im stuck like others :S
i was just thinking if there was a way to get superuser rights by using the terminal or adb.
i did also try the old root method for the desire that came before unrevoked. That didnt work.

Thank goodness...I was tempted to flash the original RUU...but my stomach told me not to do it...I would have been in the same situation if had flashed it too...
I hope there will be an easy solution in the near future for you guys

That's prob as close as you'll get to the update without flashing the RUU.

Have the same problem as others here. Tried both apk and adb with GingerBreak. No luck
...but I'm trying to play around a bit and got a noob idea to use ARUWizard to flash custom rom. I've extracted RUU 2.29 and RUU 2.3.3 and replaced 2.3.3 rom.zip with the one from 2.29. It didn't work of course as newer version has been discovered but I was wondering if it's possible just to root the standard rom.zip and put it back. Is there any chance that it works?

Have anyone rooted htc desire with Gingerbread RUU update ?

[Q] Red exclamation mark when trying flash rom

Hi!
I just rooted my HTC Desire Z which was Android 2.3.3 through downgrading it to Android 2.2 and the running Visionary+.
After that I installed ClockworkMod and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
When I use Reboot into Recovery in ClockworkMod I get a red exclamation mark only also when I go to recovery from bootloader manually.
Someone said my phone is restoring the stock recovery after every reboot due to the way its rooted.
Alternate bootloader in ClockworkMod is grayed out so I cant install that either.
Any ideas what to do?

Did you follow this method?

First if you read what biohazrd51 linked you to then you would now understand that Visionary + can and usually does brick your phone or make it impossible to use. The root method that biohazrd 51 linked was what you NEEDED to do rather than use the Visionary +. Chances are good you now have a very expensive door stop. I am NOT a programmer by any stretch, I hope you can recover, if so please let us know so that others may read and it help them. Best of luck to you.

Ok I factory reset my phone and now root is gone. Its still Android 2.2 which is good since in the first link you gave me one needs to downgrade if having 2.3.
In those rooting instructions one is asked to load the appropriate Hboot file:
Download the appropriate HBOOT for your phone:
T-Mobile G2: vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip (md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0)
HTC Desire Z: vision.hboot-0.84.2000.zip (md5sum 2CE1BDD5E4C1119CCFCECB938710D742)
HTC Desire HD: ace_glacier.hboot-0.85.2007.zip (md5sum df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6)
How do i find out if I have a T-Mobile G2 or a Desire Z since to my knowledge both look same. I live in Finland by the way.

...if you bought your device in finnland you propably got a desire z. anyway if you flash the g2 hboot on a dz or the other way around you wouldn´t harm your phone...
only the desire hd hboot is a no go.
if you want to be sure look into your bootloader and google your hboot number
best thing to do is use the desire z hboot, because then you can flash sense 3+ roms (even if you have a g2)
EDIT: before you start, does your bootloader show s-off?

That red exclamation mark is the stock recovery. If it happens when you have sorted S-OFF (do not use Visionary !), just try flashing ClockworkMod recovery again.

At the top, just under the speaker grill of the phone, does it say htc or t-mobile?
If its htc ==> Desire Z
T-mobile ==> G2

The other method root worked and i could install ClockworkMod properly and flash to CyanogenMod rom.
Worked! Thx for you help guys!

Not "usually", but there were a decent amount of soft bricks when Visionary was being used by more people. Enough for most folks on here to conclude that its not as safe as the Wiki method, so not worth it.
